Gears Tactics: 10 Things To Do After You Beat The Game

Although the somewhat contrived story is a convenient excuse to bring Gears of War to the well-fitting tactics genre, squad progression and incredibly generous customization will keep most players engaged for the long haul. The Convoy is the mission hub and unit barracks, where players recruit, upgrade, and personalize their Gears. As in similar titles, Gears Tactics allows players to rename units (just not the special hero characters that drive the story), outfit them with stat-adjusting armor pieces and weapon parts collected from battlefield Supply Cases, and specialize each of them into numerous subclasses using skill points. Unlike other modern games, however, it offers robust color, texture, and pattern customization options for almost everything a Gear carries or wears, and it doesn't charge a dime for even the coolest opti


Gears Tactics is an adrenaline-packed strategy horde that throws tons of enemies at players because the developer knows the power that the tools at your disposal hold. The chainsaw gun has 99.9 percent odds of slicing even the biggest locust in half or turning a 5-pack of scurrying wretches into gra


The first thing to be prepared for, in any turn-based tactics game and in Gears Tactics specifically, is a lot of repositioning. At the heart of the game is the back and forth of risk and reward that is the flanking system. Getting around enemy cover allows for some juicy opportunity for clean hits and solid damage, so don't be afraid to burn a point or two rounding the field to get an angle on opponents. With that being said, it is equally important to have an exit strategy in mind. Flanking will often come at the cost of wading deeper into the enemy's front lines, meaning an elevated danger of getting swamped and flanked. Be prepared to get in and out in the same breath, or at least be braced to take some damage in exchange for dishing some out. Consider whether the cost is worth it: can you eliminate an enemy with a flank move? What kind of cover can you get behind to mitigate any coming swarming? The key takeaway here is be prepared to burn a point on manoeuvering. Do not get stubborn about planting and shooting - damage and suppression is appealing, but if the cost is losing strategic ground or getting surrounded, it will just not be worth the couple of extra shots staying in place affo


Instead of concentrating on low impact shots at enemies in cover, render them immobile or stop them from doing anything that will harm allies through Overwatch. Cover them with overlapping Overwatch sections from various units. Keep in mind that Gear's Artificial Intelligence feature with explosive ticker enemies, is very good at countering Overwa


A very basic solution to continuing a strategy game is to replay the story on a higher difficulty if the difficulty from the previous playthrough was too easy. It's a great challenge if anyone felt bored by their most recent playthro


It's probably not the best turn-based squad tactics game ever nor the best Gears of War title out there, but Gears Tactics is an impressively solid adaptation of the beloved Xbox Series X enhancements franchise, proving that The Coalition is capable of bringing out the best in the couch co-op classic while continuing to take risks. Although its pacing leaves something to be desired and it borrows as many genre ills as it does strengths, Gears Tactics is mechanically and thematically engaging from the start of its long campaign to its end, and it does its inspirations justice. It isn't far from inaccessible to newcomers while also taking care to pay respect to veterans of the franchise and other squad tactics games, and fans of both will be absolutely enamored with Gears Tacti


The darker areas and alleys make those levels hard to pass; hence most of the players hate playing in those levels. In the Gear Tactics , many weapons can be used to pass those levels. But with time, they need further upgrades to work accordin


It's a fun adaption of mostly old and a little new into something any tactics player will enjoy as much as the uninitiated fan who just want more Gears of War after the most recent entry's controversies . That former group of masochists will surely be looking for punishment, and Gears Tactics has them covered. There are four difficulties, with the Insane option being just as delightfully painful as in the main series. However, XCOM popularized the Ironman mode for the squad tactics genre, (wherein squad perma-death is enabled, missions can't be restarted, and saves auto-wipe after a Gear bites the dust), and fans of meaningful fail states will be glad to know that Ironman is present here and can be used to modify playthroughs of any difficulty, rather than cruelly reserving it exclusively for Ins


XCOM: Enemy Unknown/Within and XCOM 2: WOTC are both amazing strategy games that will have players fighting even more aliens with super-powered human soldiers. If players are not looking to replay Gears Tactics but still want to fight aliens, give the XCOM series a
